Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@blindprophet182 says : Hasnt the earth got 20% greener in the last 100 years. Idk why co2 is such the boogie man, bc a chart going back to the 1880s? Im sure urbanization would skew temp readings all over. Its like the earth goes through all these rotational/orbital cycles, the sun goes through its cycles. The magnetic field goes through its cycles. For the majority of life on earth the co2 was orders higher than now, but a couple hundred ppm more is the greatest threat. We have like 100 years of accurate readings of temp data (even if some are in asphalt seas) in an ever-changing climate & pretend we have a clue whats normal. Several x5.8 class solar flares light up the auroras as far down as the Caribbean last weekend. If we took it directly head on, modern society could of come down. I try to resolve sources i trust, by how accurate are their short term predictions, & do they live like theyre avoiding the crisis they predict, & how much power stands to be grabbed. Their predictions have been wrong since the al gore movie, they all live on the beach, fly private jets. For power they pushed climate lockdowns, control over the food production (shutting down farms), tracking every purchase, no freedom to own a car. Id roll the climate dice over empowing sociopathic politicians & kleptocrats to fix anything.>> <<@Nehemiah_Scudder says : The two biggest problems with nuclear power are that invariably 1) the power station will be used to manufacture weapons grade isotopes and 2) somebody will consider their design to be "infallible" Item 2 is not unique to power stations like Chernobyl, don't forget that Titanic was "unsinkable," right up until the moment it sank. So yes, there are huge risks involved in nuclear energy, but not because of the physics, or the radiation, but because of the attitudes of humans.>> <<@AllHailSeizure90 says : Only sheep buy into climate change at a catastrophic level, especially at this point. It's literally a mechanism of controlling people and nothing more. Paying taxes isn't going to make the weather change, but somehow, you guys still buy it reardless how stupid>> <<@user-qr3dp3vx5r says : "умник", без выбросов СО2 нас ждет скорейшее наступление нового ледникового периода. В целом для Земли считается оптимальным потепление на +5 градусов. Плюс, к сожалению сжигание углеводородов скоро закончится. Тебе не стыдно кстати твоя глупость, по поводу размышлений как распылять антипарниковые газы? Не стыдно? Речь о том, что запасов углеводородов на Земле осталось на 25-40 лет при текущем потреблении. Дальше нас ждет кони запряженные в телеги и новый ледниковый период из-за уменьшения парникового эффекта.>> <<@nichance says : In 20 years people are going to be commenting here how correct you were... the only solution is to open the ozone layer from time to time until we stop burning so much fosil fuel, even if that sounds crazy af>> <<@samwilliams680 says : how is this guy so good at bullshit detection except on climate change? the only thing missing from this video is all the data from nasa and ice core samples that clearly show the earth goes through these cycles. The earth has had the same rising temps and co2 naturally and all life forms were thriving.>> <<@aaizner847 says : I'm only about 10mins in, but I am genuinely curious - why is tidal power never mentioned when discussing the downsides of renewable, or "green" power generation? As far as I understand, it is superior in every way, to every other method (wind, hydro, geothermal, etc).>> <<@Wooksley says : Energy density is no problem if we build antimatter-generating solar freaking roadways. It's not that hard.>> <<@enigmaticunknown2862 says : Just after WW2? Could it be that a large portion of populated cities were raised to the ground?>> <<@latinhero1818 says : I'd like to see a discussion between Thunderf00t and James Lindsay on global warming, with Styxhexenhammer666 moderating.>> <<@TheLeftCollectiveTLC-sb9zf says : Thank You Thunderfoot for your videos. It’s People like you that help to keep me sane and grounded ❤️. I really mean it>> <<@johnB11ify says : It's the end of the world!!!!! Yeah we've been saying this since the start of mankind. Predicting the future is a very risky thing to do. Back in the 70s and 80s we were supposed to be heading for an ice age. So whilst today it's warming. I think let's just see. I doubt it. The earth has been hotter than it is now. We won't get desperate we will just move into another scare.>> <<@user-tp4ii6hs3l says : God dammit. I thought I had found an intelligent channel, and then I get to this video. The part of the graph you point out as evidence of global temperature changes changing in relationship to human behavior is actually the control line set by either NOAA or NASA. They set 1951-1980 as the 0 temperature anomaly because the time before World War II is a period where global temperature values can't be fully trusted. Of course the temperature anomaly's will move up and down relative to this control line, and then ultimately rise in relationship to this zero line. This is why the years before are negative anomaly, even though they were surely warmer than a variant of earth that didn't have industrialization. Sigh and unsub. This science is so simple and openly available that it makes everything else you post come into doubt as manipulative. https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/?intent=121>> <<@NxsRuin says : Lifting alumina with a supersonic jet of super heated steam into the stratosphere using a nuclear heat source over the polar regions, trapping it with the vortexes, should be fairly easy. Vulcanoes have been doing it for a while now. Dropping the temperature in the polar regions increases sea ice cover and enhances reflectivity, lowering temperature even more. Colder poles enhances sea currents, thereby pumping more hot water away from the tropical regions, sucking power out of cyclones. Alumina fallout in the polar regions is harmless and increases reflectivity even more. This is the way!>> <<@peterjames424 says : I've followed you for years but this video is mostly ill-informed BS. Warming does not follow CO2 levels but the other way round. Don't cherry pick a few decades, look back over thousands of years.>> <<@pn2543 says : @20:00 'bottom line - stratospheric aerosol injection is a stopgap measure', exactly, to allow for the transition to nuclear and solar/wind. This is a great argument for Geoengineering, which is inevitable, since it is so cheap and effective. Joe Scott, Kurzgesagt, and other Geoengineering Youtube essayists could learn something from this video.>> <<@paranoid9678 says : sry but my problem with nuclear is we dont have a solution for it wasted sinze we started to use it its like living in a house without a toilet and shitting into bags, at one point you will step on one also many nuzclear plants are way to old i mean i will not trust a 40 year old car to be save but at the same time they try to make us belive it is save to run a power plant that should be out of commission 20 years ago nuclear waste includes not only fuel rods but also contaminated objects such as old pipes, valves, connections, cooling water, tools machines.... you wont find any fuel rods in these yellow barrels that other we also need to get rid off it is nice how he showed co² as a graphic but not about nuclear waste so how many km³ of nuclear waste have we accumulated worldwide since the 1960s 10 - 20km³? you just have to look at Prypjat and all the machines that were used to clean up there and are now radiating radioactivity for decades, all of this stuff is considered nuclear waste the time in which we have entire reactors or barrels sunk in the sea is long over and laying everything underground in the hope that in 100 years there won't be a leak that contaminates the groundwater cannot be the solution building his future on just hope is certainly one of despair also i still belive planting some tree is better then to bloue yourselt to a steet or a truck its also better then just sitting arront and protesting like friedays for future dose........>> <<@landscapesandmotion says : Let’s stimulated volcanic eruptions so people will be ok with spraying sulfates into the upper atmosphere.>> <<@landscapesandmotion says : Nuclear (including the holy grail: fusion) are infinitely cheaper to build and maintain than having a planet that can’t support human life at its current and growing population.>> <<@whiskyguzzler982 says : I read this book.>> <<@CreatingRealityoutube says : What if virtual reality authoritain dystopia is the dsytopia of star trek before qe got warp drive... THE SHOW WAS RIGHT OMG!!!! They assumed theye was a war and the planet fell into a dark age. I think it was nuclear. Anyways if it was nuclear myabe the histrians were wrong in star trek. What if it was the aersol atmospheric covering. Where people were put into a virtual reality for social contact, breeding programs, and the people who worked lived where they worked. Food was distributed amd tightly comtrolled. This eventually collapses and result in the development of communications technology like subspace. So when the Q showed picard the fourts of the past that was loterally the working class that produced everything for food. While the planet was restored. Super cool. So what we need to do is revamp the star trek series with thinderfoot as the creative director. So we can create an army of nerds... Weher is dun fidnd raiser?>> <<@Engy_Wuck says : the problem with a geoengineered temporary(!) stop to global warming: some people would use it as "reason" to put even more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere instead of using the engineered reduction as a stopgap measure . So in my opinion we should only use it *after* we have solved the problem and already are on a sustainable CO2 emission level, to battle the decades of long-term effects. If we use it at all.>> <<@yeezybandit says : I told you so.>> <<@LurkStarKing says : So where's all the source data for this or is it suddenly not important>> <<@krzysztofrodak876 says : 13:52 Denmark, Belgium, Germany - 3 EU countries with highest price of electricity. By chance - what is the relationship with number of "green" and of "renewable energy" wind turbines in there (also closing down NPPs ) ? Or maybe there is other reason for such high prices?>> <<@FirstLast-cg2nk says : As a time traveler from the year 3026, I can tell you how global warming was solved. Around 2100 AD, we figured out how to resurrect the dead. Then, we dug up all the corpses of the people who were alive from 1960 to 2050, and then forced them to work on fixing the problem they caused until they died, then brought them back over and over again. As they inflicted suffering on future generations, future generations inflicted suffering upon them.>> <<@flamehands3416 says : Dd you delete your video of proposing a temporary solution??>> <<@TalonBugs says : 3 ads back to back, love my adblocker>> <<@alanc7368 says : Climate alarmism is bad. Fear mongering is bad. Fossil fuels have improved quality of life for humans, enormously, and way more than just powering our vehicles. Continuous improvement is a natural part of our existence and there's no reason to think that humanity can't continue to solve problems. The effort that we're witnessing from our political idiots to scare everyone is bull shit, and just gets in the way of using good rational thinking and reasoning to come up with solutions.>> <<@scalamasterelectros3204 says : Wee human are realy good at diging our owne grave>> <<@scalamasterelectros3204 says : Bro thanks i wasent a doomer enoth😢>> <<@motherhors7036 says : ahhh get to it>> <<@taylors4243 says : Sea rise is not the problem, its the ice age that follows.>> <<@christopherpardell4418 says : My concern with the SAI solution is that it will reduce the pan evaporation rate. And that means less rain, which will mean less fresh water. And we already are having a fresh water crisis. The pan evaporation rates is directly tied to solar flux… Not temperature. The pan evaporation rate has been dropping because of pollutants and the only time its been shown to recover somewhat was during the shutdown of the airline industry over the US which resulted in a local increase on the pan evaporation rate. So what good does it do us to slow global warming if the only solution results in a world wide drought?>> <<@Defensive_Wounds says : 18:50 sounds an awful lot like in the 1970s when climate scientists thought the world was in for a new ice age and their solution was to spray the arctic and Antarctic ice with coal to absorb heat and melt the ice to warm the planet...hmmmm, what if, they did that and this is the cause for where we are today all along?? Interesting idea?>> <<@NeurodivergentSuperiority says : Cute pfp, i like bunnies>> <<@Universal_Craftsman says : Aaron Clarey has some good points on it: https://www.youtube.com/live/LB4ek4hFqRo?si=k-hR2G8WMT8r389f>> <<@phnix6242 says : We could also just take an asteroid hit and the distcloid gives us a nice cool shadow>> <<@ricerob says : Here in the u, s, the media and the government are owned by the people property from fossil fuel. There's no hope of any changetaking placenot even acknowledgy there is a problemis possible until somehow the government and media are no longer owned by the people profit team from the fossil flow fuels.>> <<@derpydears2693 says : Our current costs calculations on nuclear are quite meaningless, for no country that I could find has proper nuclear waste disposal factored in to production costs. This makes me think of the nuclear as turning our carbon pollution problem into a solid nuclear waste problem. Which in all reality could be a better problem to have.>> <<@interstellarphred says : Based on this narrative, I now ponder whether it is better to boil water with the already manufactured fissile material, as opposed to wait to deploy it for some involuntary urban renewal.>> <<@Farming-Technology says : For an example of carbon credit sillyness check out what is going on with CF fertilizer in the UK...>> <<@ciaranhughes1199 says : I'm pretty new to the channel and I've liked it so far. You are preaching to the choir with me though, I've been following McPherson for an age and trying to read data as best I can since 2000 and something. I'm firmly of the opinion that humanity is screwed, the dolphins will be thanking us for the fish and sodding off any day now. Exponential change is a tough mofo for us linear humans to grasp and even those that get it have blind spots. I think your timeline for doom is off. No one seems to be looking at the problem heuristically as part of the human experience. Economics, politics and human fears all have a part to play. I think the last human will be born this decade. I don't think it will be climate change that does for us, but instead it will be the failure of civilisation caused by climate change and other factors. I think we're living in that space. We have had the fall of one large nation in recent years due to climate change exacerbating financial and political issues, Syria. Many southern countries having been screwed by the 'West' and capitalism for the last 40 years now do not have the resources or political means to respond to crop failures, floods, droughts and other climate driven disasters. This is leading to mass migration into richer countries. In many cases these countries (such as the UK) are already economically f**ked thanks to decades of asset striping by the 1%. This mass of people is stressing already fragile institutions. Insurance companies are folding so each year less damage is going to be fixed adequately if at all. Food isn't going to get any cheaper and people are already malnourished in supposed 1st world countries. Mean while we have private jets delivering folk from one side of LA to the other side of LA This is already spiralling and its going to get worse, exponentially. I'm old enough to remember the start of the climate 'debate'. Geo-engineering was a pie in the sky, if we really really have to, last ditch hail mary. Not only was/is the science shaky our ability to model particles on the scale required is near impossible. Even the most ardent supporters agreed getting the political will globally to commit to a never ending global project was going to be tricky. It's a testament to how actually screwed we are that serious people are now going "Maybe...?">> <<@FntX-Video says : Unfortunately there are a lot of people in the comments here who did not understand the explanation. Putting aerosols in the atmosphere is not the solution, it is the explanation for why the industrialization era showed no real sign of warming or cooling. We then began to put even more CO2 in the atmosphere without much pollution. This is where things went noticeably wrong. You either have the choice of clean hot air or some sort of a nuclear winter - our we get the emissions of greenhouse gases under control and we could just about make it. If I read through the comments I can tell you all: We are not the generation(s) which are f*cked but sure is that the generations in 100 years from now on sure are swearing on us ignorant apes.>> <<@Dr.Cosmar says : "If you are watching this video when it goes up, it probably won't be in your lifetime" - ~1:20 What?? Ok... Say this slowly for the degree holder who got indoctrinated. Global Warming Is Not Real Even If The World Is Getting Hotter We Will Adapt Because It Has Been MUCH!!!! Hotter And Humans Were Alive Then There was also significantly more biodiversity and speciation. Yeah, forgive me for being rude, but global warming is just a scam on governments. Aided by institutions and fueled by smart people suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect.>> <<@rclewis01 says : They have already started with starlink and other short-lived satellites. There are over 5500 of them now and they only have a 5 year life. They burn them up in the stratosphere and they are 1 to 2000 lbs of mostly aluminum...which will vaporize. They plan on over 40,000. That would be about 4,000 tons per year or more. Not enough to halt the warming, but it will slow it down some. So, they are geoengineering right now and the people are paying for it by ordering and using starlink. But, the people don't know it so, SHHHH, don't tell them.>> <<@LimitedState says : Lol @ Global warming... This guy still believes lies and it's hilarious...>> <<@Ityourgirl. says : ROFLMAO! so bring back leaded gasoline and the problem literally will solve itself>> <<@nickford5549 says : Jeez, this guy slams Elon for being stupid, then comes up with a scam to spray pollution into the air to solve warming. Ya that won’t backfire at all, no way. 😂😂😂😂>> <<@nickford5549 says : We are in a ice age, the planet will warm>>
